Some of my flights have lasted almost 4 hours (plane drop from 100kft)
so these have no trouble storing data in logs and you can review the
logs in a very convenient way.
But! you can also watch all the sensor data in real time via telemetry
and record it on your ground station as well. No more excuses for not
having data and none for not finding your rocket either.

It would be nice to have high speed flash on it that allows for storage of
large amounts of data. I have read there SD cards do not work so well
because of vibration and the interface they use. I always uses a single
loop with a set of state variables and it would be nice to have those
recorded to playback at a later time.

To me the biggest feature missing from COTS HPR flight computers is the
ability to interface with a variety of user supplied sensors, storing a
large quantity of data locally, then transmitting a meaningful subset of
the data wirelessly.
Only RDAS provides some of this ability. But RDAS has lived beyond its
useful lifetime.
